AAPI Heritage Month - Seeking Volunteer Guest Readers!
Wellington is celebrating AAPI Heritage by reading biographies of important Asian-American and Pacific Islanders during library time the first week of May.

ATTENTION 4th Grade Families / Rising 5th Graders - We need your help!
Do you think it's important for Chenery students to find their PASSION and make FRIENDS? We are looking for volunteers to help run the Chenery PTO after school clubs in 2023-24. (Sadly, our current volunteers will be moving on to the High School.)
This year alone close to 300 students signed up to join in on the fun. We ran popular clubs like Dungeons and Dragons, Chess, Japanese for Fun, and more! Without your help, the PTO clubs will not run!
Whatever your skills, please volunteer! The tasks are easy and don't require a lot of your time:
